"We hired Felipe to add rocks to the front of our yard that was being overtaken by weeds. All that I was looking for was to place weed barrier down and add a border around where the rocks would be laid. Felipe came to the house to assess the work and returned renderings the same day. The different design options he provided were impressive, even including an upgrade to the mailboxes. His quote was reasonable. Throughout the process Felipe was so kind asking lots of questions to make sure he understood what we wanted. He even provided different rock samples to choose from. He started on a Monday and finished that same Wednesday. We asked that he also do a similar rock layout on the side of the house for an additional reasonable charge. That work was completed the next day. The family is ecstatic with the results. Comparing the rendering with the final outcome, you can’t tell the difference. Look no further; Felipe is your guy! "

"Samuel is great, very responsive, polite , flexible and easy to work with. His price was reasonable and was one of the lowest among the quotes I received. He and his crews did a good job to replace ceiling drywall, paint window and door frames, repair damaged siding, etc. I would recommend his services and would hire him again. "

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in San Leandro, CA

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
